“We worked on that finish for over a month now,” Josh Thomson said just minutes after submitting Pat Healy with a rear-naked choke.

In this exclusive interview with Sherdog.com’s Loretta Hunt, the former Strikeforce lightweight champion breaks down the fight and the injuries he sustained en route to victory.
